MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Steven Kueny, City Manager
DATE: November 12, 2003 (CC Meeting of November 19, 2003)
SUBJECT: Proposed Development Agreement with SunCal pertaining
to Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 5130
DISCUSSION:
Councilmembers Harper and Mikos, as the appointed Ad Hoc
Committee, worked with staff to negotiate a Development Agreement
with the developer of the referenced project. While the project
is generally known as SunCal, the owner of the property and the
party to the Development Agreement is Moorpark 150, which is a
Limited Liability Corporation (LLC). The Development Agreement
generally contains the same points as prior agreements for
similar projects.
Items unique to this project and included in the agreement are
the means of providing affordable housing, improvement of a
portion of the North Hills parkway, and improvement of a portion
of Walnut Canyon Road (SR 23). With the exception of affordable
housing, the staff report for November 19, 2003, City Council
public hearing for the project (GPA 98 -1, Zone Change 98 -1, VTTM
5130, and RPD 98 -2) provides the background and analyses on
specific aspects, some of which are contained in the proposed
Development Agreement.
The percentage of affordable housing units is about eleven
percent (11 %) because a portion of the project site (all or a
portion of 18 lots) is within the Moorpark Redevelopment Agency
project area. In the past, ten percent (10 %) has been the
standard for projects outside of the project area and no less
than fifteen percent (15 %) if the project is within the project
area.

City Council Agenda Report for 11/19/2003
Re: Proposed Development Agreement with SunCal
Page 2 of 2
The proposal for affordable housing (Section 6.11) includes
twelve (12) single family, detached units (7 for low income and 5
for very low income persons) with at least six (6) of them to be
within the redevelopment project area. (As defined, it can
include certain specified duplex units.)
Section 7.6 of the proposed agreement provides for consideration
for formation of a Community Facilities District. The City at
its sole discretion can decide whether such a District is
actually formed. This same provision was most recently included
in the Development Agreement for Specific Plan No. 2
(Morrison /Pardee).
Consistent with the City's process and state law, this proposed
Development Agreement must be referred to the Planning
Commission. If directed by the City Council, this would occur at
a public hearing on December 9, 2003, with the Council public
hearing scheduled for December 17, 2003.
The Ad Hoc Committee and staff recommend that this matter be
referred to the Planning Commission for a public hearing on
December 9, 2003, and that the City Council public hearing be set
for December 17, 2003.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Refer the proposed Development Agreement to the Planning
Commission and set the City Council public hearing for December
17, 2003.

3. Binding Effect. The burdens of this Agreement are binding
upon, and the benefits of the Agreement inure to, each Party
and each successive successor in interest thereto and
constitute covenants that run with the Property. Whenever the
SunCal Dev Agr -Draft 1110 2003.doc

terms "City" and "Developer" are used herein, such terms shall
include every successive successor in interest thereto, except
that the term "Developer" shall not include the purchaser or
transferee of any lot within the Project that has been fully
developed in accordance with the Project Approvals and this
Agreement.
3.1. Constructive Notice and Acceptance. Every person who
acquires any right, title or interest in or to any
portion of the Property in which a Developer has a
legal interest is, and shall be, conclusively deemed to
have consented and agreed to be bound by this
Agreement, whether or not any reference to the
Agreement is contained in the instrument by which such
person acquired such right, title or interest.
3.2. Release Upon Transfer. Upon the sale or transfer of
any of Developer's interest in any portion of the
Property, that Developer shall be released from its
obligations with respect to the portion so sold or
transferred subsequent to the operative date of the
sale or transfer, provided that the Developer (i) was
not in breach of this Agreement at the time of the sale
or transfer and (ii) prior to the sale or transfer,
delivered to City a written assumption agreement, duly
executed by the purchaser or transferee and notarized
by a notary public, whereby the purchaser or transferee

Development of the Property. The following provisions shall
govern the subdivision, development and use of the Property.
4.1. Permitted Uses
permitted uses
those that are
this Agreement.
The permitted and
of the Property shall
allowed by the Project
conditionally
be limited to
Approvals and
4.2. Development Standards. All design and development
standards, including but not limited to density or
SunCal Dev Agr -Draft 1110 2003.doc
-4-
000129

intensity of use and maximum height and size of
buildings, that shall be applicable to the Property are
set forth in the Project Approvals and this Agreement.
4.3. Building Standards. All construction on the Property
shall adhere to the Uniform Building Code, including
the Fire Resistive Design Manual, the National
Electrical Code, the Uniform Plumbing Code, the Uniform
Mechanical Code, the Uniform Housing Code, the Uniform
Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings, the
Uniform Code for Building Conservation and the Uniform
Administrative Code in effect at the time the plan
check or permit is approved and to any federal or state
building requirements that are then in effect
(collectively "the Building Codes ").
4.4. Reservations and Dedications. All reservations and
dedications of land for public purposes that are
applicable to the Property are set forth in the Project
Approvals and this Agreement.
Vesting of Development Rights.
5.1. Timing of Development. In Pardee Construction Co. v.
City of Camarillo, 37 Cal.3d 465 (1984), the California
Supreme Court held that the failure of the parties
therein to provide for the timing or rate of
development resulted in a later- adopted initiative
restricting the rate of development to prevail against
the parties' agreement. City and Developer intend to
avoid the result in Pardee by acknowledging and
providing that Developer shall have the right, without
obligation, to develop the Property in such order and
at such rate and times as Developer deems appropriate
within the exercise of its subjective business
judgment.
In furtherance of the Parties intent, as set forth in
this section, no future amendment of any existing City
ordinance or resolution, or future adoption of any
ordinance, resolution or other action, that purports to
limit the rate or timing of development over time or
alter the sequencing of development phases, whether
adopted or imposed by the City Council or through the
initiative or referendum process, shall apply to the
Property provided the Property is developed in
accordance with the Project Approvals and this
Agreement. Nothing in this section shall be construed
SunCal Dev Agr -Draft 1110 2003.doc
-5-
000130
to limit City's right to insure that Developer timely
provides all infrastructure required by the Project
Approvals, Subsequent Approvals, and this Agreement.
5.2. Amendment of Project Approvals. No amendment of any of
the Project Approvals, whether adopted or approved by
the City Council or through the initiative or
referendum process, shall apply to any portion of the
Property, unless the Developer has agreed in writing to
the amendment.
5.3. Issuance of Subsequent Approvals. Applications for
land use approvals, entitlements and permits, including
without limitation subdivision maps (e.g. tentative,
vesting tentative, parcel, vesting parcel, and final
maps), subdivision improvement agreements and other
agreements relating to the Project, lot line
adjustments, preliminary and final planned development
permits, use permits, design review approvals (e.g.
site plans, architectural plans and landscaping plans),
encroachment permits, and sewer and water connections
that are necessary to or desirable for the development
of the Project (collectively "the Subsequent
Approvals "; individually "a Subsequent Approval ") shall
be consistent with the Project Approvals and this
Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, Subsequent
Approvals do not include building permits.
Subsequent Approvals shall be governed by the Project
Approvals and by the applicable provisions of the
Moorpark General Plan, the Moorpark Municipal Code and
other City ordinances, resolutions, rules, regulations,
policies, standards and requirements as most recently
adopted or approved by the City Council or through the
initiative or referendum process and in effect at the
time that the application for the Subsequent Approval
is deemed complete by City (collectively "City Laws "),
except City Laws that:
(a) change any permitted or conditionally permitted
uses of the Property from what is allowed by the
Project Approvals;
(b) limit or reduce the density or intensity of the
Project, or any part thereof, or otherwise require any
reduction in the number of proposed buildings or other
improvements from what is allowed by the Project
Approvals.

000131L
(c) limit or control the rate, timing, phasing or
sequencing of the approval, development or construction
of all or any part of the Project in any manner,
provided that all infrastructure required by the
Project Approvals to serve the portion of the Property
covered by the Subsequent Approval is in place or is
scheduled to be in place prior to completion of
construction;
(d) are not uniformly applied on a City -wide basis to
all substantially similar types of development projects
or to all properties with similar land use
designations;
(e) control residential rents;
(f) prohibit or regulate development on slopes with
grades greater than 20 percent, including without
limitation Moorpark Municipal Code Chapter 17.38 or any
successor thereto, within the Property; or
(g) modify the land use from what is permitted by the
City's General Plan Land Use Element at the operative
date of this Agreement or that prohibits or restricts
the establishment or expansion of urban services
including but not limited to community sewer systems to
the Project.
5.4. Term of Subsequent Approvals. The term of any tentative
map for the Property, or any portion thereof, shall
expire ten (10) years after its approval or conditional
approval or upon the expiration or earlier termination
of this Agreement, whichever occurs first,
notwithstanding the provisions of Government Code
Section 66452.6(a) or the fact that the final map may
be filed in phases. Developer hereby waives any right
that it may have under the Subdivision Map Act,
Government Code section 66410 et seq., or any successor
thereto, to apply for an extension of the time at which
the tentative map expires pursuant to this subsection.
No portion of the Property for which a final map or
parcel map has been recorded shall be reverted to
acreage at the initiative of City during the term of
this Agreement.
The term of any Subsequent Approval, except a tentative
map or subdivision improvement or other agreements
SunCal Dev Agr -Draft 1110 2003.doc —7 —
000132
relating to the Project, shall be one year; provided
that the term may be extended by the decision maker for
two (2) additional one (1) year periods upon
application of the Developer holding the Subsequent
Approval filed with City's Department of Community
Development prior to the expiration of that Approval.
Each such Subsequent Approval shall be deemed
inaugurated, and no extension shall be necessary, if a
building permit was issued and the foundation received
final inspection by City's Building Inspector prior to
the expiration of that Approval.
It is understood by City and Developer that certain
Subsequent Approvals may not remain valid for the term
of this Agreement. Accordingly, throughout the term of
this Agreement, any Developer shall have the right, at
its election, to apply for a new permit to replace a
permit that has expired or is about to expire.
5.5. Modification Of Approvals. Throughout the term of this
Agreement, Developer shall have the right, at its
election and without risk to any right that is vested
in it pursuant to this section, to apply to City for
modifications to Project Approvals and Subsequent
Approvals. The approval or conditional approval of any
such modification shall not require an amendment to
this Agreement, provided that, in addition to any other
findings that may be required in order to approve or
conditionally approve the modification, a finding is
made that the modification is consistent with this
Agreement.
5.6. Issuance of Building Permits. No building permit,
final inspection or certificate of occupancy will be
unreasonably withheld from Developer if all
infrastructure required by the Project Approvals,
Subsequent Approvals, and this Agreement to serve the
portion of the Property covered by the building permit
is in place or is scheduled to be in place prior to
completion of construction and all of the other
relevant provisions of the Project Approvals,
Subsequent Approvals and this Agreement have been
satisfied. Consistent with Subsection 5.1 of this
Agreement, in no event shall building permits be
allocated on any annual numerical basis or on any
arbitrary allocation basis.

000133
5.7. Moratorium on Development. Nothing in this Agreement
shall prevent City, whether by the City Council or
through the initiative or referendum process, from
adopting or imposing a moratorium on the processing and
issuance of Subsequent Approvals and building permits
and on the finalizing of building permits by means of a
final inspection or certificate of occupancy, provided
that the moratorium is adopted or imposed (i) on a
City -wide basis to all substantially similar types of
development projects and properties with similar land
use designations and (ii) as a result of a utility
shortage or a reasonably foreseeable utility shortage,
including without limitation a shortage of water, sewer
treatment capacity, electricity or natural gas.
6. Developer Agreements.
6.1. Developer shall comply with (i) this Agreement, (ii)
the Project Approvals, (iii) all Subsequent Approvals
for which it was the applicant or a successor in
interest to the applicant and (iv) the MMRP of the MND
and any subsequent or supplemental environmental
actions.
6.2. All lands and interests in land dedicated to City shall
be free and clear of liens and encumbrances other than
easements or restrictions that do not preclude or
interfere with use of the land or interest for its
intended purpose, as reasonably determined by City.
6.3. As a condition of the issuance of a building permit for
each residential or institutional use within the
boundaries of the Property, Developer shall pay City a
development fee as described herein (the "Development
Fee "). The Development Fee may be expended by City in
its sole and unfettered discretion. On the operative
date of this Agreement, the amount of the Development

Dollars ($8,635.00) per residential unit and Thirty -
Eight Thousand, Eight Hundred Fifty -Eight Dollars
($38,858.00) per gross acre of institutional land on
which the use is located. The fee shall be adjusted
annually commencing one (1) year after the first
residential building permit is issued within Tract 5130
by any increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) until
all fees have been paid. The CPI increase shall be
determined by using the information provided by the
U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics,
SunCal Dev Agr -Draft 1110 2003.doc — 9 —
000134
for all urban consumers within the Los
Angeles /Anaheim /Riverside metropolitan area during the
prior year. The calculation shall be made using the
month which is four (4) months prior to the month in
which the first residential building permit is issued
within Tract 5130 (e.g., if the permit issuance occurs
in October, then the month of June is used to calculate
the increase). In the event there is a decrease in the
referenced Index for any annual indexing, the
Development Fee shall remain at its then current amount
until such time as the next subsequent annual indexing
which results in an increase.
6.4. As a condition of the issuance of a building permit for
each residential or institutional use within the
boundaries of the Property, Developer shall pay City a
traffic mitigation fee as described herein ( "Citywide
Traffic Fee "). The Citywide Traffic Fee may be
expended by City in its sole and unfettered discretion.
On the operative date of this Agreement, the amount of
the Citywide Traffic Fee shall be Four Thousand, Six
Hundred Sixty -Four Dollars ($4,664.00) per residential
unit, and Twenty Thousand, Nine Hundred Ninety -Eight
Dollars ($20,998.00) per acre of institutional land on
which the institutional use is located. Commencing on
January 1, 2005, and annually thereafter, both
categories of the Citywide Traffic Fee shall be
increased to reflect the change in the State Highway
Bid Price Index for the twelve (12) month period that
is reported in the latest issue of the Engineering News
Record that is available on December 31 of the
preceding year ( "annual indexing "). In the event there
is a decrease in the referenced Index for any annual
indexing, the Citywide Traffic Fee shall remain at its
then current amount until such time as the next
subsequent annual indexing which results in an
increase.
6.5. As a condition of issuance of a building permit for
each residential or institutional use within the
boundaries of the Property, Developer shall pay City a
community services fee as described herein (Community
Services Fee) . The Community Services Fee may be
expended by City in its sole and unfettered discretion.
The amount of the Community Services Fee shall be Two
Thousand, Two Hundred Thirty -Three Dollars ($2,233.00)
per residential unit, and Seven Thousand Seventy
Dollars ($7,070.00) per gross acre of institutional
SunCal Dev Agr -Draft 1110 2003.doc —10
—
000135
land on which the institutional use is located.
Commencing on January 1, 2007, and annually thereafter,
the Community Services Fee shall be adjusted by any
increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) until all
Community Services Fees have been paid. The CPI
increase shall be determined by using the information
provided by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of
Labor Statistics, for all urban consumers within the
Los Angeles /Anaheim /Riverside metropolitan area during
the prior year. The calculation shall be made using
the month of August over the prior month of August. In
the event there is a decrease in the CPI for any annual
indexing, the Community Services Fee shall remain at
its then current amount until such time as the next
subsequent annual indexing which results in an
increase.
6.6. On the operative date of this Agreement, Developer
shall pay all outstanding City processing costs related
to preparation of this Agreement, Project Approvals,
and MND.
6.7. Prior to the issuance of the building permit for each
residential dwelling unit within the Property,
Developer shall pay a fee in lieu of the dedication of
parkland and related improvements (Park Fee). On the
operative date of this Agreement, the amount of the
Park Fee shall be Ten Thousand, Eight Hundred Dollars
($10,800.00) for each residential dwelling unit and
Fifty Cents ($.50) per square foot of each building
used for institutional purposes within the Property.
The fee shall be adjusted annually commencing one (1)
year after the first residential building permit is
issued within Tract 5130 by any increase in the
Consumer Price Index (CPI) until all fees have been
paid. The CPI increase shall be determined by using
the information provided by the U.S. Department of
Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, for all urban
consumers within the Los Angeles /Anaheim /Riverside
metropolitan area during the prior year. The
calculation shall be made using the month which is four
(4) months prior to the month in which the first
residential building permit is issued within Tract 5130
(e.g., if the permit issuance occurs in October, then
the month of June is used to calculate the increase).
In the event there is a decrease in the referenced
Index for any annual indexing, the Park Fee shall
remain at its then current amount until such time as
SunCal Dev Agr -Draft 1110 2003.doc — 11 —
000136
the next subsequent annual indexing which results in an
increase.
Developer agrees that the above - described payments
shall be deemed to satisfy the parkland dedication
requirement set forth at California Government Code
Section 66477 et seq. for the Property.
6.8. Provided that prior to recordation of the first final
map for Tract 5130 or March 31, 2005, whichever is
later, Ventura County Waterworks District No. 1 or any
successor entity confirms that it has sufficient
recycled water to serve the public and community owned
landscaped areas within Tract 5130, then Developer
shall construct appropriately sized water lines,
pumping facilities, and storage facilities for recycled
water consistent with the requirements of the City,
Waterworks District No. 1 and Calleguas Water District.
Said lines shall be installed prior to the final cap
being placed on all streets. Developer shall provide
service including payment of any connection and meter
charges and shall use recycled water for medians and
parkways for all public streets, and any other public
and commonly owned landscaping and recreation areas.
The amount of recycled water needed and areas to be
irrigated by recycled water shall be determined by City
at its sole discretion. The recycled water line(s)
shall be installed for each City approved phase of
development and the recycled water shall be in use
prior to the first occupancy approval for each City
approved phase of development if such recycled water is
available within one -half mile of the Property.
Developer shall install dual water meters and services
for all locations determined necessary by City at its
sole discretion to insure that both potable and
recycled water are available where restroom and
drinking fountains are planned.
6.9. Greenbelts, paseos, buffers, open space areas,
landscaped areas, and trails lying within each portion
of the Property (not covered by any other section)
shall be dedicated to City in a form approved by the
City Attorney, or to one or more homeowners or property
owners associations as determined by the City Council
at its sole and unfettered discretion, as a condition
of recordation of the final subdivision map or parcel
map defining the area within which said areas are
located. Greenbelts, paseos, buffers and open space

areas may include wetlands, storm water detention and
debris basins, landscaping and decorative planting
areas, sidewalks and trails that do not interfere with
greenbelt, buffer and open space uses as determined by
the City Council at its sole and unfettered discretion.
Such areas not dedicated to City shall include a
conservation easement granted to the City in a form
acceptable to the City consistent with Civil Code
Section 815 et seq.
No extraction of subsurface mineral resources, grading,
excavation, drilling, pumping, mining, or similar
activity shall be allowed in any portion of Lots A, B,
C, D, F1, G, H, K, K1 and N. The limitations and
exclusions described in this subsection shall be
included in the conservation easements. Lots A, B, C,
D, F1 and N may include grading for the purpose of
establishing and maintaining landscaping as part of a
fuel modification zone as determined by the Director of
Community Development and Ventura County Fire
Protection District.
Lot A is excepted from the limits described above for
purposes of maintaining any detention or debris basins
including any related service roads. Lot F1 is
excepted from the limits described above in the event
Lot F1 is required to provide primary or secondary
access to the Project as determined by the City at its
sole and unfettered discretion.
6.10 Prior to recordation of the first final map for the
Property, the Developer shall pay to City One Hundred
Forty Thousand Dollars ($140,000.00) to satisfy its
obligation to upgrade the intersections of Walnut
Canyon Road /Moorpark Avenue (SR 23) and Charles

January 1, 2005, the $140,000.00 payment referenced
above shall increase by one -half of one percent (.5 %)
each month until paid. This payment may be expended
by City in its sole discretion.
6.11. Developer shall provide five (5) four (4) bedroom and
two bath and two (2) three (3) bedroom and two bath
single family detached units with a minimum of 1,200
square feet and a maximum of 1,500 square feet to be
sold to buyers who meet the criteria for low income

four ( 4 ) bedroom and two ( 2 ) bath, and one (1) three
(3) bedroom and two (2) bath single family detached
units with a minimum of 1,200 square feet and a
maximum of 1,500 square feet to be sold to buyers who
meet the criteria for very low income (50 percent or

with roll -up garage door and a minimum driveway length
of eighteen (18) feet measured from the back of
sidewalk, meet minimum setback requirements of the
City RPD zone, include concrete roof tiles, and other
amenities typically found in moderate priced housing
in the City (e.g., air conditioning /central heating,
washer /dryer hookups, garbage disposal, built -in
dishwasher, concrete driveway, automatic garage door
opener). The duplex type units in Tracts 3841, 3070-
2, 3070 -3, 3070 -4, 4170, and 5133 are considered to be
single family detached units for the purposes of this
Section 6.11.
Subject to City's sole discretion, this obligation, in
whole or part, may be met by providing attached for
sale units in lieu of single family detached units at
the ratio of one and one -half (1%) attached for sale
unit for each single family detached unit. In the
event such substitution results in any fraction of a
unit, then the requirement shall be rounded up to the
next higher whole number (e.g. the requirement of 3
single family detached units are met by 4'M attached

the income level of the units for which they are being
substituted.
The attached for sale units shall provide the same
number of bedrooms and bathrooms and contain all of
the same amenities for a single family detached unit
as described above, except the minimum driveway

the requirements of this Development Agreement and any
applicable Affordable Housing Agreement for Tract
5130.

All affordable housing units provided under this
Section 6.11 that received a final inspection prior to
January 1, 2004, must conform to all building codes
effective as of the date the unit is proposed to be
acquired to meet the Developer's obligation of this
Section 6.11. Developer shall pay at its sole cost
and expense for a city selected contractor to perform
a home inspection and /or occupancy inspection by the
City Building Official, and Developer at its sole cost
and expense shall make any needed corrections to
conform to inspection reports and current building
codes. At Developer's sole cost and expense, the roof
shall be inspected and if necessary as determined by
City at its sole discretion repaired or replaced by a
city selected licensed roofing contractor and
certified to have no less than a 20 -year life.
Developer at its sole cost and expense shall purchase
a standard home warranty policy for a three -year
period commencing on the date the unit is first sold
to a qualified low or very low income household and
shall include but not be limited to coverage of
heating and air conditioning systems, automatic garage
door opener, and all built -in appliances and include a
deductible/ service call amount of no more than One
Hundred Dollars ($100.00) per service request. For
these units, City may approve a composition shingle
roof in lieu of a concrete tile roof if all other
provisions of this Section 6.11 are met. In no event
may a wood shake or shingle roof be approved.
In the event the monthly HOA fees exceed $100.00,
Developer shall deposit $120.00 for each dollar or
portion thereof of the monthly HOA fees that are in
excess of $100.00 into trust to assist with future HOA
fees for each affected unit.
The Initial Purchase Price for the low- income buyers
shall not exceed affordable housing cost, as defined
in Sec. 50052.5(b) (2) of California Health and Safety
Code. For a family of 4, the monthly "affordable
housing cost" would be 30% times 70% of $74,700, the
current median income for a family of 4 in Ventura
County, divided by 12. This monthly amount includes
the components identified in Section 6920 of Title 25
of the California Code of Regulations shown below.
(See Section 50052.5(c) of the Health and Safety
Code.) The Initial Purchase Price for a low income

The Initial Purchase Price for a low- income household
of five or more would be based on the affordable
housing cost for the actual household size. Under
current market conditions, that price would be
$170,000 for a household of five, $185,000 for a
household of six, and $200,000 for a household of
seven.
The assumptions associated with the above purchase

affordable housing cost for the actual household size.
Under current market conditions, the Initial Purchase
Price would be $105,000 for a household of five,
$117,000 for a household of six, and $128,000 for a
household of seven.
The assumptions associated with the above purchase
price figures for very low income households include a
minimum of 3% down payment, based on estimated market
value of $280,000.00, mortgage interest rate of 6 %, no
mortgage insurance, property tax rate of 1.25 %, based

utilities of $186 per month for a household of 4,
assuming a 3 bedroom unit, and utilities of $213 per
month for households of 5, 6 and 7 persons, assuming a
4 bedroom unit.
Developer acknowledges that changes in market
conditions may result in changes to the Initial
Purchase Price, down payment amounts, mortgage
interest rates, and other factors for both low income
and very low income buyers. Furthermore, if
"affordable housing cost ", as defined in Section
50052.5 of California Health and Safety Code, should
change in the future, the above guidelines will be

modified. The Affordable Housing Implementation and
Resale Restriction Plan shall address this potential
change.
Affordability covenants shall be recorded against each
property to ensure ongoing affordability to low or
very low income households at time of resale for the
longest feasible time, but not less than 45 years. In
addition, the difference between the Initial Purchase
Price and market value may be retained by and be
recorded in favor of the City as a second deed of
trust and will be further defined in the Affordable
Housing Implementation and Resale Restriction Plan.
City shall control the resale of any of the units.
Developer shall pay closing costs for each unit, not
to exceed $6,000. Beginning March 1, 2006, and on
March 1St for each of fifteen subsequent years, the
maximum $6,000 to be paid for closing costs shall be
increased annually by any percentage increase in the
Consumer Price Index (CPI) for All Urban Consumers for
Los Angeles /Orange /Riverside metropolitan area during
the prior year. The calculation shall be made using
the month of December over the prior month of
December. In the event there is a decrease in the CPI
for any annual indexing, the amount due shall remain
at its then current amount until such time as the next
subsequent annual indexing which results in an
increase.

relied upon by successors in interest to the Developer who
requested the certificate and by holders of record of deeds of
trust on the portion of the Property in which that Developer
has a legal interest.
14. Administration of Agreement. Any decision by City staff
concerning the interpretation and administration of this
Agreement and development of the Property in accordance
